   Amiga 2000 questions

   Hi guys,   
      
   After 16 years, I've finally got myself an A2000 (well, A2500 actually, but   
   the processor card had already been sold seperately).   
      
   It has a Kickstart 2 rom installed, but I have already ordered a 3.1 rom for   
   it & also has an A2090 SCSI controller. Apart from that, it's a bog standard   
   revision 4.4 mobo.   
      
   Some questions :   
      
   What's the best option for a graphics card ? I want to connect directly to   
   an (s)vga monitor, rather than use my ageing 1081 (which is developing   
   problems with the red pot).   
      
   What's the maximum capacity hard drive I can add ?   
      
   What options are available for network cards - I'd like to bring the machine   
   into the windows workgroup here (3 XP Prp machines) ?   
      
   Also, for the time being at least, I can t/fer stuff direct from one of the   
   PC's via null modem cable, however, one small problem - no terminal proggy   
   on the Amiga :-( Does anyone have a floppy containing such a beastie that   
   they'd be willing to send ? (I'm in Oz, but would obviously be happy to pay   
   postage & costs).   
      
   cheers,   
      
   Lance
